Yeah , beautiful townships and very affordable !

It’s going to be flexible, you get to choose to come in or not. However some clients may prefer for people to come in. I would say it’s a safe bet to go to a lower COL until end of year for sure

Wine country !

definitely think more remote work will be part of the new normal. I’m looking for places that will give me a fairly easy access downtown (e.g. 1 hour or less on GO or TTC) but also are decent communities on their own where I can afford some decent space.

Nice M1! I was looking at areas on the East End, really eyeing Pickering and maybe Whitby with the GO station development out there

yes, thinking to move away from Yonge/Bloor.. I don't know why I am here, and why I am paying so much rent.

Absolutely, commute times and COL in the GTA are atrocious. I’d take a pay cut to live somewhere I actually want to

Depends on your timeframe. If it's over 6-12 months, you're probably okay, but if you're making a long-term investment such as buying a house, that could be risky.

A long term shift in working patterns is far from guaranteed despite all the people treating it as a foregone conclusion right now.

Hi all look for some advice:

I recently signed an offer with a company and cleared the background to receive my welcome letter with onboarding info. They are now asking me about relocating to Chicago and I do not want to move as they are working remote at the moment. Is there a way of not having to move since my offer was signed with talking about relocating or even in the offer letter?
